Overcoming Divorce One Marriage at a Time: A Primer on Relational Life Therapy

With Eric Kispert, LCSW, LCADC

6 CEs

Created by the renowned marital therapist and best-selling author Terry Real, Relational Life Therapy is designed to go right to the core of marital conflict and quickly make positive, lasting change. During this workshop, therapists will receive a comprehensive overview of the model and of the elements that distinguish it from other therapies. In addition, attention will be given to the societal shift away from the traditional patriarchal marriage to one rooted in respect and collaboration. During a discussion on RLT skills, the opportunity will be interwoven for individuals to explore their own primary relationship. Ultimately, participants will leave this training with tangible skills they can begin using in their next couple’s session.
